## Resource

Sam Acho raises alarms about Travis Kelce’s fading elite form, questioning if the tight end can reclaim his Super Bowl-caliber dominance after a dip last season—compounded by Patrick Mahomes’ injury woes and the Chiefs’ first playoff-less year in a decade. Despite still ranking fifth among tight ends with 851 yards and 5 TDs, Kelce fell to 79th on the NFL Top 100 and missed Pro Football Network’s Top 100 entirely, signaling a troubling downward trend. Analysts like Jacob Infante note his scoring impact has declined sharply since 2024, when he dropped to 11th among tight ends. With the Chiefs’ future hinging on both veterans’ resurgence, Kelce’s current performance underscores the brutal reality: aging stars must keep pace in a league hungry for the next breakout.
